	This can depend on the app.  For example, Gkrellm handle's it's own
sticky state.  I use the session manager to start a root xterm that's
sticky.

	One other option is to use the kde thingy.  Let me see if I still have
the stuff...  Ah, there it is.  The utility is called kstart and you can
use it to start all kinds of things in all kinds of states on all kinds
of workspaces.  Just run "kstart --help" to get all the switches and
options you need.  I was using this method for quite a while until the
built-in xfce session stuff went mainstream.
